In our previous article, too many Hong Kong movies were introduced
But the vast majority of them are films that are either deep, hot, or allegorical
Although these films like the Galactic Image are classic enough, good enough
But it's not easy to fully appreciate it
And today, we will introduce a light-hearted and fun Hong Kong comedy
Not the nonsense of Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei
It is from Peng Haoxiang's black humor "Buy Murder Shoot People"
Ah Bart, played by Ge Minhui, is a well-known professional killer in the industry, with high levels of employers and good income
The little two bites of life are still quite delicious
However, after the financial storm, the two fell into an economic crisis, like at the beginning of the film, the killing work is done, but it is not easy to receive the final payment
Abart's ideal is to become a cool killer like Alandron
But the real life is disturbed by the messy things such as his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law
In order to continue to let his wife live a life that can be squandered, Abbat had to pull down his face and look around for work
Finally, a rich wife hired him to kill people, but on the condition that the process of killing must be filmed
He bought DV and killed people, but the tape he photographed was barely visible
In order to keep his business, Abart decided to find a bad guy to be his partner
This unlucky egg is Ah Quan, played by the little young Zhang Daming who sells marijuana in the bar
Ah Quan is not actually a drug dealer, he is a young man with lofty ideals who returned from studying directing in New York
I wanted to break out of my own world in the Hong Kong film industry, but I didn't expect to come back for several years
But they can only run around in a very informal small film company to do chores, and make adult movies that cannot be on the table
His idol is Martin Scorsese, ideally one day earning enough money to make his own independent film
And asked the company's AV girl Michiko to be the heroine of her own movie
The reason why he wants to sell drugs is because the film company does not pay wages and uses drugs to offset it
Seeing that he was about to be unable to pay the rent, he was forced to go to a bar to sell marijuana
Abart was looking for such a person, so the combination of buying murderers was established
Abart is responsible for killing people, and Ah Quan is responsible for guiding and filming the whole process of his killing, and then post-processing
Unexpectedly, the first collaboration between the two was a great success, which made these rich wives particularly satisfied
After that, their business became more and more, and the funds for shooting people became more and more abundant
The methods and processes of shooting are becoming more and more complex, and their products are becoming more and more professional
Even had its own logo and peripherals
That's right, it's this cute little man with a broken head
This made them famous for a while
Hongxing's boss is killed by the double gun male, and the gang elects Biao Ge to avenge the boss
Biao Ge invited the duo of Ah Bart and Ah Quan to kill him at the birthday party of the two-gun man
And be sure to say a word before killing him: Brother Hong Xingbiao told me to kill you
Of course, these are all things that need to be photographed
Just when everything was ready, another group of killers who also shot people suddenly appeared, and it turned out that it was sent by another boss of Hongxing
The killers killed the two-gun male, and Abart killed the two men
Although the two-gun male is dead, he did not take a picture of Abart killing people, nor did he take a picture of what must be said, which also did not receive the final payment
At this time, as a film director, he thought of a plan: reshoot
A stand-in male actor was found to replace the dead two-gun male, and Michiko was brought in to play the girlfriend of the two-gun male
At this time, Biao Ge also brought his younger brothers to the scene
In order to use this as evidence to ascend to the throne of Boss Hongxing, we must take this shot perfectly
It's white pigeons again, and it's pomp and circumstance
After many reshoots, Biao Ge decided to play the killer himself at the instigation of others
Just after the shooting, the police appeared
Only then did it turn out that it was a real bullet that hit the stuntman, plus the physical evidence and video were complete
Biao Ge became the most well-documented murderer in history
And Ah Bart and Ah Quan, who received the final payment, dressed up as takeaways to get away easily
Just by looking at my simple description, you must also feel the absurdity and black humor of the film
Not only the plot, but also every detail is full of this relaxed and interesting atmosphere
As a representative of black humor in Hong Kong films
Naturally, all kinds of ridicule are inevitable
Gangster bosses, old boys, killers, family relationships, all kinds of embarrassing realities in the film industry
They were all blackened by Peng Haoxiang in this way, and every corner was a taste of irony
The actors in the film are all thousand-year-old supporting roles in Hong Kong films, but it is such a lineup
And only a budget of $500,000 and 15 days of shooting time
In the hands of Peng Haoxiang, it has been processed into the most personal black humor comedy
You know, this is Peng Haoxiang's film debut
There is also an interesting little tidbit, the scene at the end of the film where Ah Quan walks the red carpet with a trophy, which was actually secretly filmed at the Hong Kong Academy Awards
Zhang Daming was actually holding Jin Peida's trophy, just pretending to win the award and walking on the red carpet
It can only be said that Peng Haoxiang's gang is too good at playing
